Liu Ruxue settled the bill at the clinic. "Doctor, I need to go back and tell my family. I'll come back later. Don't worry, I won't run away."

"It's better to have someone follow you; it's not safe for you as a woman alone."

Liu Ruxue sighed helplessly. The old doctor was clearly afraid that she would never return. "Alright, then I'll come along."

When she returned to the Wang family residence, the clinic clerk recognized her as a member of the Wang family and felt somewhat reassured. He sat in the gatehouse and waited, knowing that the woman might escape but the family would.

Liu Ruxue went directly to Wang Zhilan, "Sister Wang."

"Ru Xue, you're back. Why do you look so pale? What happened?"

"Sister Wang, I've gotten into trouble."

"What happened? Tell me, and we'll figure it out together."

Liu Ruxue then recounted the whole story, "That's how it is. Now the auntie at Wangyou Tower doesn't want that woman anymore. She's mine now, and she even gave me the indenture." As she spoke, she took out the indenture. She hadn't read the contents of it before, and she didn't even know the woman's name.

Wang Zhilan took the indenture, opened it, and saw that the woman's name was He Qinglian, she was sold for 90 taels of silver, and the person who signed and sealed it was Lu Yunzhou, the woman's husband.

Lu Yunzhou, Lu Yunzhou... why does that name sound so familiar? Wang Zhilan racked her brains, trying to remember where she had heard it before. Suddenly, she stood up. "I remember now! I remember! Who is he?"

"Sister Wang, what's wrong?"

"Ru Xue, look at the name on this indenture."

Upon closer inspection, Liu Ruxue saw the name "Lu Yunzhou." Wait, how could it be Lu Yunzhou? Could He Qinglian be her new wife? Then why would she sell her to such a place?

She hates the Lu family, so how did she end up getting involved with them again? It's all her fault for meddling.

"Sister Wang, do you know why this is happening? What should we do now?"

"Since you saved the person and the indenture is in your hands, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Perhaps this is fate!"

Look at you, you didn't go that day, but you had to go today, and that's how you ran into her. She's destined to be connected with April, there's no escaping it.

Although we don't know why she was sold, the fact that the girl dared to jump off the building shows that she is a person with character and values ​​her reputation. Her conduct should not be bad. We'll wait until she wakes up to discuss everything.

"I'll go with you to see her now. That woman is a pitiful person; she's had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to run into such a shameless scumbag."

Liu Ruxue went back to her room to get some silver, and then went to the clinic with Wang Zhilan in a carriage. As they went in to see He Qinglian, the clinic clerk quickly told the old doctor, "Those two women who went in just now are from the Wang family of Fucheng. They can't escape."

The old doctor stroked his beard. He had no choice; he couldn't just dump people in his clinic. He ran the clinic to treat the sick and save lives, not as a shelter or refuge. Now, faced with this kind of situation, he was truly terrified. Only by being ruthless could he avoid getting into trouble for himself.

Wang Zhilan glanced at the bed and was also attracted by the girl's appearance. This girl was really beautiful. Although her skin was not very fair, her features were very delicate. It was the kind of beauty that shone from the inside out, the kind that grows on you.

She sighed. Beautiful women often have tragic fates; the world is unjust. Why is it so hard for women?

"Sister Wang, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel uneasy."

The old doctor stood outside the door. Wang Zhilan asked about the specific situation. "Someone of you will need to stay with her for the next two days. After all, she's a young woman, and it's inconvenient for us to take care of her."

"Sister, I'll stay and take care of her. I won't be going to the shop for the next few days. Please tell the shopkeeper that I'm just asking for trouble. I'll have to deal with the mess I made myself."

"Okay, I'll send someone else to help you."

Wang Zhilan went back, and Liu Ruxue stayed at the clinic to take care of He Qinglian. Two days later, He Qinglian woke up. She didn't know where she was and was very scared. She looked at the person sleeping by the bed and then at the environment in the room. She didn't know if she was dead or alive.

Her head was throbbing terribly, and it felt so real. She pinched herself again, and although she didn't have much strength, she could still feel the pain. Had she not died from the fall and ended up back in that filthy place?

She closed her eyes, wondering what to do. Since she couldn't die, she'd just have to play the fool!

When Liu Ruxue woke up, she found that He Qinglian was already awake. "Miss He, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

He Qinglian looked at the people in front of her. She didn't recognize them. She smiled and looked at the two of them without saying a word. The little maid looked at Liu Ruxue and said, "Miss Liu, this person might have been knocked silly. What should we do now?"

You saved her, but are you going to take care of this idiot for the rest of your life? Why not send her back to the Forget-Worry Pavilion? That madam is quite shrewd, dumping this burden on you. What good is her indenture? What use is an idiot? She can't work, she can't serve you, and nobody would want her even if you sold her. It's truly worrying!"

"Xiao Lan, don't say that. No matter what, it's a human life. I saw it and couldn't just stand by and watch her die. Now that she's mine, I'll take good care of her. I believe she'll get better eventually."

"Qinglian, don't be afraid. I'm Liu Ruxue. I saved you. The old lady at Wangyoulou didn't want you anymore and gave me your indenture. From now on, you'll stay with me. I'll find a doctor to treat your injuries slowly. You just need to be a good girl."

He Qinglian was startled. The madam of Wangyou Tower no longer wanted her, and she now belonged to the girl in front of her. But who was this girl? Was she a good person or a bad person? As she was thinking, she heard the maid say, "Miss Qinglian, you are very lucky and fortunate. You met Miss Liu, which is why you are alive."

You need to get better quickly to repay Miss Liu for saving your life. You can't stay foolish and cause Miss Liu so much worry and trouble.

"Xiao Lan, go and fetch the old doctor to examine Qing Lian."

The old doctor came over and took He Qinglian's pulse. "She's awake now, so her life is saved. But she's injured internally and needs to be properly cared for. There's also a blood clot in her brain, which may cause her to lose her senses and she may experience fainting in the future. I'll prescribe some medicine for her to decoct and take first."

The patient suffered a head injury and should not be moved; they must lie down and rest.

"Doctor, she seems a bit slow-witted, could you take another look?"

"There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe he'll be fine once the blood clot in his head clears up."

"Doctor, can I take this person home to recover? It's too inconvenient for them to stay here."

"Yes, but the journey must be smooth and the ride must be comfortable. I will also need to administer acupuncture treatments daily. I can only make the home visit myself, so the consultation fee will still be an extra 500 coins."

"Okay, let's do it this way."

"Xiao Lan, go home and ask Sister Wang to send two people to carry the person away."

Only Liu Ruxue and He Qinglian remained in the room. Liu Ruxue looked at He Qinglian and said, "Qinglian, how did you end up marrying that scumbag Lu Yunzhou?"

She used to bully my cousin, and now she's bullying you. How could your parents be so heartless? Didn't they even bother to find out more about you before you got married? Did they sell you off for money? It's such a waste of such a good girl like you.

He Qinglian was shocked. Who was this girl in front of her? She tried to sit up, but as soon as she looked up, she felt dizzy and fainted again.

Liu Ruxue quickly went to call the doctor, "Doctor, doctor, please take a look, the person is dying."

The senior doctor rushed in, took the patient's pulse, and glanced at his eyes. "It's nothing serious, just a fainting spell. The patient was emotionally agitated just now, which is why he reacted like this."

"Oh, that scared me to death."

"Remember to go home and rest, keep the patient's emotions stable, and avoid any stimulation."

"Understood, thank you, doctor."

Mother Qiu soon learned that He Qinglian had woken up, but unfortunately, she was mentally impaired. She was secretly relieved that she had managed to get rid of her in time, otherwise she would have suffered a huge loss, and that unlucky girl would have had to pay out a lot of money!
